Perception that India is mainland and Northeast must align itself to ways of mainland in itself is flawed, he says
The “rising footprint” of China in India’s neighbourhood and its attempts to “unilaterally alter the status quo” along India’s disputed borders have created an environment of “confrontation and mutual distrust”, Army Chief Gen Manoj Naravane on Friday stated and asserted that regional and internal connectivity was central to unleashing the potential of the Northeast and “balancing” the influence of China.

New Delhi: More than half of the over 13-lakh strong Indian Army personnel “seems to be under severe stress”, according to a study published by the tri-services think tank United Service Institution of India (USI). There have been over 1,100 cases of suicide among varous ranks since 2010.
The study, done by a serving Colonel and published on the USI website last month was, however, removed Friday.
